General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Assuming this isn't fiction...
I thought the paddleboarding etc stunt photos and playing dress up on morning TV shows was a bad idea, but that campaign did get attention and it's still paying dividends. I'm therefore reluctant to say this stunt is idiotic... But it really is if the party wants to be taken seriously
During the run up to the GE, Farage was sucking up any media attention that wasn't on Sunac or Starmer. If Davey hadn't done those ridiculous stunts then no-one would have heard anything about the Lib Dems at all. I guess he feels that is still true.
Presumably they've crunched the numbers and think that making the kind of young people who will see these videos more aware of the lib dems is worth other people laughing at them
